Chevrolet Corvette (1998-2001) Review

Category: Convertibles 3.5 out of 5

Summary of the Chevrolet Corvette (1998-2001)

Price Range: No data available

Assets

Goes like a Porsche 911, costs half as much. Handles well on smooth roads.

Drawbacks

Left-hand drive only. Very wide for British roads.

Verdict

A little crude, a little eccentric in Europe, but certainly exciting.

Review

Overview3.5 out of 5

The Corvette was always America's only serious sports car, and even with the arrival of the brutish Chrysler Dodge Viper, it remains the most sophisticated. That's a relative term, mind; a Jaguar XK8, Mercedes SL320 or Nissan Skyline make the Corvette seem a little rough around the edges. But it's a fabulously quick car for the money, well-equipped and enormous fun to drive if the road isn't bumpy or narrow. And it looks like, well, not too far short of a million dollars.
